Electron Configuration
Activity 3

I. Objectives:
1. Write the electron configuration of elements in the third period ;
2. Determine the pattern of filling the orbitals based on the given
distribution for the first 10 elements; and
3. Devise rules in filling up the orbitals.

II. Materials Needed

III. Procedure:
1.Work with your group mates to write the electron configurations for
the elements in the third period of the periodic table.
2. Compare the electron configurations of the second period (see
table 3) and the third period elements.

IV. Observation / Discussion:


Guide Questions:
1. Where can you find metals, and noble gases in the periodic table of
elements?

for the elements from atomic number 1to 18?

7. What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the


following main energy levels: L,N,O and Q -shells?
